I am currently working on one of my new year's resolutions...care less about what people think of me. K- I REALLY struggle with this one. I overthink things religiously, especially when it comes to relationships. I didn't use to think I was an overly sensitive person, but when it comes to how people, especially family and close friends, view me...I am about as sensitive as they come. I am a pleaser, a fixer, and a wanna-be-everyone's-friend-er, and in the words of some dude named Phil McGraw, it just ain't workin' for me. So after another one of my whining sessions last night to Bryan about why so-and-so doesn't like me still and recipricate my awesome affection, I have decided, with his help, that I NO LONGER CARE! I have wasted too many years trying to fit this person's mold only to realize they change the mold because they don't want me to fit it. I am no longer going to beat myself up because whether this person sees how awesome I am or not is no longer my concern. Maybe they'll come around, maybe they won't, but either way, I'm okay...finally! So goodbye dear baggage...it's been fun. :)
That seriously feels so good!!!
Now, to see if I can actually have the somethin's to stick to this new found freedom :)

What a wonderful place to be! Stick with it, Tiffany. Some people are not worth the mental anguish. Focus on the hundreds upon hundreds of people that DO think you're awesome (and I'm one of them!) and most of all, just worry about what YOU think of you!
I struggle with this one too Tiff. I change around the people I want to like me and try to be what I think they want me to be.
I still do it sometimes but I'm getting better at realizing that I am happiest when I am true to who I am regardless of what others think.
It's something I'm still working on.
I thought you knew that I love you no matter what! And by the way, I will talk to you when I actually can talk, Thank you they turn out really well and I love them.
p.s. I had no idea when I posted this comment that I wasn't signed in, so I'm the one who deleted it and reposted it under the correct name------------whoopsi. I haven't been thinking too straight today.
I love you girl!! Anyone that doesn't isn't worth your time or energy worrying about!!!
